Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.6.

The only track on the album close to filler.

Not my favorite Metallica song in terms of lyrics and their delivery, but it's a great way to close one of their most important works.
I wasn't impressed with the beginning, but it got better as I listened. And again, I like the lyrics.

Power metal like intro that sounds like a march.. wait... is James Hetfield rapping on this song? uhhhhh I'm going to pretend this song isn't even on this album... but how can I?
